Down to Earth - Advent According to Isaiah

December 2017
5 Sermons
  • Description
  • Messages

The Christmas season is upon us. Some years we are ready for it and some we are not. Somehow, it sneaks up on us. To keep that from happening, we hope you join us as we intentionally open ourselves to anticipating God’s presence through this Advent season. Advent comes from the Latin word adventus and means, ‘arrival’ or ‘coming’. It is a look back to the world’s longing for a savior and a looking forward in anticipation of Christ’s return. In this series, we will let the prophet Isaiah guide us.

Isaiah is a book that presents us a vision from Yahweh with words from Yahweh. These visions and words speak of the restoration of God’s Kingdom in OT times, of the coming of Messiah, and the anticipation of complete fulfillment of God’s kingdom. Isaiah’s faithful announcement that God will bring hope, joy, peace and love “down” to us as we anticipate complete restoration is the focus of our Advent series. 

As we open our hearts to this hope, joy, peace and love come ‘down to earth’, we recognize our access to the gifts of God. All the while, we anticipate restoration by the savior from God who will bring ultimate peace, justice, and righteousness into the world. This access makes us both the benefactors and bearers of God’s ways as we walk in God’s path.

Over the coming weeks we will learn to see and hear God’s great vision for us in a way that is so down to earth that it allows us to live it while waiting for it.
